The Charles Bronfman Prize is now accepting nominations for its 11th annual Prize recognizing dynamic young humanitarians, inspired by Jewish values, whose innovation and global impact serves as inspiration for the next generations.

Now entering its second decade, The Charles Bronfman Prize was established in 2004 by Ellen Bronfman Hauptman and Stephen Bronfman, together with their spouses, Andrew Hauptman and Claudine Blondin Bronfman, to honor their father on his 70th birthday. The Prize celebrates his values and his commitment to young people and their potential as global change makers.

In its first ten years, The Charles Bronfman Prize recognized twelve outstanding individuals and teams having a dramatic impact on the world’s pressing challenges in the fields of education, health, the environment, poverty and human rights. Prize laureates have improved the lives of more than 20 million people on six continents.
